ALF Update Today: Alf Has Sent Love Back

Jambo jambo to you all! For those of you who dont speak Swahili, I'm saying hello to you. If you've watched the video I'm not the only one saying Jambo to you When I read the comments (Please forgive me if I miss one or two but I do try to go through all hundreds of them)

I've noticed that the most common response is you all sending Alf love and kisses. Now Alf has sent love back (he always does) and I've managed to get some more video for you all of his love. Thank you all for the love and support, Alf really does appreciate it. Asante Asante! (Again for those non Swahili speakers- Thanks thanks!

Linda Kalisz Fettig How much longer will Alf be at Bright's Zoo! I had all my plans set to come see you at Bright's, but Irma put a damper on that.

Brights Zoo We dont have a set date of when he is leaving, we don't even know where he's going yet

Judy Edwards After the passing of Julius and how heartbroken I was, I was so happy to come across Alf and see how well he was doing. I love the updates on him. Thank you Maggie for the smile.

Jane Bunts Solan I don't think he has to leave because of Maggie's relationship with him. I think it has to do with the issues with the herd and him (soon) being a bull, much the same way Tajiri has to be temporarily relocated until arrangements can be made for him, too. I think it will be better if both Alf and Taj start their own handsome/healthy bloodlines. I am sure someone will figure out where Alf will be and people will visit him.

Judy Coogan Maggie, as a zookeeper, how gratifying is it to have such an amazing relationship with this beautiful giraffe? I followed April and then heard about Alf. These videos along with your story of being a foster-mom are just heartwarming. It truly brings out the best in all! Continued joy on this incredible journey.

I hope you are keeping a diary – it would make a fascinating book for children and adults in the future! Families do come in all shapes, sizes and species. Thank you for sharing your giraffe family! This is just a wonderful story of unconditional love, on both sides.

Evelin Lindsay Oh, Alf, you silly boy. Loving those kisses. You are so handsome! Maggie, thank you so much for all the updates and videos. They mean so much. And thank you, for taking such good care of our sweet boy!! Much love to you both
